In the last ten years, our average surgical mortality has been 0.93 % including the treatment of the most complex critical heart defects (Graph #4). Prague Children’s Heart Centre obtained an excellent rating in the European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery (EACTS) audit comparing the results of European paediatric centres for cardiac surgery. According to the audit that considered both the surgical mortality and the complexity of the treated defects, only three European centres have performed better in 2010 (Graph #5: vertical axis - % mortality, horizontal axis - complexity score, bubble diameter – number of procedures.
